Does not work on Firefox 88.0 / Windows

When loading a local Markdown file the file is not rendered at all. GitLabMarkdownViewer does work but it lacks some features I'd like to have.

In the Windows Registry I had to set Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.md\Content Type to text/html. Otherwise Firefox always presents the download dialog.

TBH I don't know where to start digging, so that is all the information I have. :-/

Setting Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.md\Content Type to text/plain still omits the download dialog. Still no rendering, though.

Just tested, works for me with Firefox 88 on Windows 10. I have no .md key in my registry.

  • When you get an non-rendered page, but no download dialog, can you try reloading the page via the address bar (and not via F5 or the refresh button) ?

  • Can you also report the actual file name (full path) ?

The mime type should not matter by the way, as we only match the file name. It does get in the way when firefox thinks it should not open some file because of a wrong or unexpected mime type, but it’s not what we use to find which files to open.

Thank you! I deleted it and it works now.
